FESTIVAL BALLET’S TOP STARS TWIRL INTO THE FUTURE By Lydia E. Ringwald Photos by Skye Schmidt Star ballerinas, Skye Schmidt, Tara Ghassemieh and Willa BouwensKilleen in Orange County’s premiere ballet company Festival Ballet have each carved a unique career in dance. In addition to performing leading roles in Festival Ballet’s four productions each year, company ballerinas Skye and Tara also explore parallel career opportunities in teaching, choreography, film and movie performance and in the instance of ballerina Skye Schmidt, dance photography. Skye Schmidt a recent graduate in Dance Performance from UC Irvine was trained from the age of 5 at the Festival Ballet dance school Southland Ballet Academy. When she was 17, Skye was selected in the top 10 in YAGP competitions (Youth American Grand Prix) in New York and continued with performance in Festival Ballet productions as well as UC Irvine productions throughout her college years. While at the university, Skye also cultivated a parallel career as a photographer. Included in her portfolio are images not only of dance performance on stage capturing the magic of stage lighting, costume and set design but also backstage with images that illuminate and offer insight into the life of a dancer. To c h a l l e n g e c o n v e n t i o n a l vision, Skye also experiments with photographing dancers outside in natural light often with the Huntington Beach pier as the backdrop with sand and ocean. At her peak professionally, Skye performs in a variety of roles for various dance companies. Watch for her in the upcoming performance in a star role of ‘The Secret Garden’ at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, April 28-30. After a year in New York, performing

with ABT (American Ballet Theater), Tara Ghassemieh returned to California and joined Festival Ballet in 2009. She has starred in lead roles in Festival Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker,’ ‘Don Quixote’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and in original choreographies designed for the Festival Ballet Gala. Tara teaches at Southland Ballet’s studios in Fountain Valley and Irvine and also creates unique solo choreographies for studio dancers who compete in the annual YAGP competition. Her talent as a choreographer was recognized when she achieved the Outstanding Choreographer Award in 2013 . In addition to performance, choreography and teaching, Tara appeared in the film ‘Step Up’ as ballet dancer and is pursuing other commercial film opportunities. Perhaps you have enjoyed the opening scene to ‘The Nutcracker’, set in the enchanting Victorian living room where parents dance together as partners in front of the delightfully decorated Christmas Tree. Over the years, Willa Bouwens-Killeen has danced this famous character role, in front center stage. Willa has studied ballet at Southland Ballet since from its inception in 1983 and continues to take two classes a week. She studied ballet with Director Salwa Rizkalla for 34 years while simultaneously completing a BA in Geography at Cal State Fullerton and working in a parallel career as a Planner for the City of Costa Mesa. ‘My work as a City Planner subsidizes my training in ballet,’ chimes Willa cheerfully. For Willa, it was thrilling for participate not only on the theater stage, but also in theater construction. During her 36 years at the Department of Building and Planning, she worked with the developers who visualized and built the multiple theater complex at Segerstrom Center.

During Festival Ballet performances, in addition to dancing onstage, Willa also busy backstage sewing costumes and doing last minute costume repairs; pinning headdresses carefully into the coiffeur of each ballerina to make sure that accessories are secure and will withstand the centrifugal force of multiple spins and daring leaps. B u t t h a t ’s n o t a l l . W i l l a ’s achievements and honorary duties continue as a Festival Ballet Board Member, overseeing the company budget and staff needs. ‘Classes at Southland Ballet start in the morning and continue into the evening hours. Some students who are dedicated to a career in dance, often are home schooled and learn online so that they can devote themselves to dance. We must have adequate staff and budget to accommodate student needs.’ Also, during rehearsals for the four ballet productions, those who have been selected to participate will be at the studio Saturday and Sunday for rehearsals. Dancers in the Festival Ballet company and up-and-coming dancers in the Junior Festival Ballet take five to six classes a week, training themselves for demanding roles in
the classical dance and cultivating confidence and style. Many aspire to become professional dancers in the famous ballet companies of the world. Many may choose other careers but will always cherish within the discipline and power of dance training. ‘We have dancers who eventually earn college degrees in math and science. Often they attribute success in their academic studies to their disciplined training in ballet. In addition, ballet training is impressive on a resume when applying to colleges.’ One thing all dancers learn is time management. Students at rehearsal utilize spare moments for academic study and may be seen completing algebra problems on the benches and spaces to the side of the dance floor while they wait for their turn to perform. Southland Ballet dancers apply the versatility, the discipline, the creativity of dance to the dance of life, each to create a unique career path that celebrates life and art. Star dancers Skye Schmidt and Tara Ghassiamieh and seasoned dance performer Willa BouwensKilleen are twinkling examples.

History of the Easter Bonnet An Easter Bonnet represents the tail-end of a tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter, in harmony with the renewal of the year and the promise of spiritual renewal and redemption. The “Easter bonnet” was fixed in popular culture by Irving Berlin, whose frame of reference was the Easter parade in New York City, a festive walkabout that made its way down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick’s Cathedral: In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade. At the depths of the Great Depression a new hat at Easter, or a refurbished old one, was a simple luxury. The selfconsciously quaint “bonnet”, which had been tongue-in-cheek euphemism for a hat for more than a generation, supplied Berlin with his rhyme. The broader English tradition of new clothes at Easter has been noticed in late 16th century references by Peter Opie, who noted Mercutio’s taunting of Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet: “Did’st thou not fall out with a Tailor for wearing his new Doublet before Easter?” At just the same time Thomas Lodge’s moralising pasmphlet Wits Miserie (London, 1596) recorded “The farmer that was contented in times past with his Russet Frocke & Mockado sleeues, now sels a Cow against Easter to buy him silken geere for his Credit”. In Samuel Pepys’ diary, 30 March (Easter Day) 1662, he notes “Having my old black suit new furbished, I was pretty neat in clothes to-day, and my boy, his old suit new trimmed, very handsome.” Poor Robin, an 18th-century English almanac maker, offered the doggerel: At Easter let your clothes be new. Or else be sure you will it rue. And the notion that ill-luck would dog the one who had not something new at Easter expanded in the 19th century. Today the Easter bonnet is a type
of hat that women and girls wear to Easter services, and in the Easter parade following it. Ladies purchased new and elaborate designs for particular church services, and in the case of Easter, taking the opportunity of the end of Lent to buy luxury items. Now, in a more casual society, Easter Bonnets are becoming harder to find,[8] as fewer and fewer women bother with the tradition. Modern Easter bonnets for children are usually white wide-brimmed
hats with a pastel colored satin ribbon around it and tied in a bow. It may also have flowers or other springtime motifs on top, and may match a special dress picked out for the occasion. Until recently, it was popular in infant school to ask a child to design an Easter-themed hat at that time of year. The aim was to get their parents to wear it to Easter services.
Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. ~Janine di Giovanni

the wonerful an d iconic F aber g é
Fabergé, the world’s most iconic artist jeweller, creates extraordinary jewellery, timepieces and objets d’art, as well as bespoke commissions for a discerning international clientele. Founded in 1842, Fabergé has been the most revered name in jewellery ever since Peter Carl Fabergé became official goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court; the house created exquisite jewels and objects, including the legendary series of lavish and ingenious Imperial Easter Eggs. Peter Carl Fabergé was renowned for his exquisite and artistic use of colour, making the most of each gemstone’s unique characteristics and developing a vibrant enamel palette. His worldwide reputation attracted royalty, nobility, tycoons, industrialists and the artistic intelligentsia of not only Paris, Moscow and London but also America and the Far East, becoming the ultimate gift purveyor. In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an abrupt end to the Romanov dynasty, and to the House of Fabergé. The company was nationalised, all production closed down and Peter Carl Fabergé and his family fled Russia. Following its founder’s death in Switzerland, the Fabergé heirs lost the rights to the Fabergé name.
History came full circle in October 2007 when Fabergé, under new ownership and direction, announced the reunification of the Fabergé brand with the Fabergé family. This opened a new chapter in the intriguing story of Fabergé, and set the stage for a total revitalisation of the Fabergé name and philosophy, in tune with its original values, aesthetics and spirit. Today, Fabergé takes inspiration from its storied past to create eternally original pieces that, when worn, convey breath-taking individuality. By painting with the world’s finest coloured gemstones, Fabergé explores the art of colour through creations which are designed to become future heirlooms. Celebrating the concept of the artist-jeweller in today’s world of luxury, Fabergé traces the legacy of excellence in creativity, design and craftsmanship to introduce a new era of enchanting and enduring personal possessions and gifts for contemporary connoisseurs. Current collections are available at Fabergé boutiques in New York, London and Geneva, as well as at Harrods in London and other exclusive international retailers. Selected items are also available via Fabergé’s online boutique at Faberge.com.

J elly B eans : A C olorful H istor y an d A ssociation with E aster By Shaun Stanert You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by the way he eats jellybeans, at least according to the widely quoted logic of former USA President Ronald Reagan. For Reagan the Jellybean was not simply an Easter indulgence. Reagan was so enamored of Jellybeans that he maintained a year-round supply in the Oval Office and a perpetual stash on air force one, displayed in a special turbulence-proof container. He even launched them into space, in 1983, when he ordered that they be stowed as a presidential surprise on the space shuttle challenger for the amusement of the astronauts. Reagan’s conclusion about the personalities of fellow jellybean aficionados may or may not prove true. Still, it appears obvious that Americans have a considerable collective craving for the clever creation. These days it would hardly be Easter without jellybeans artfully hidden among the paper grass, chocolate rabbits and other goodies that presently complete the Easter Basket equation. Nevertheless, Jellybeans are no longer just for Easter. They have shed their seasonal specific demand and are on display in stores throughout the year. The exact origin of the Jellybean is somewhat foggy likely lost to time and a lack of permanent record keeping methods. Most historians, however, agree that in the USA they were first linked with Easter in the 1930s. That is when people began tucking them into Easter baskets likely because of their resemblance to small eggs, according the Jelly Belly Company, the manufacturer of Reagan’s selfprofessed favorite brand of Jelly bean. Eggs have long been a symbol of fertility and spring renewal associated with Easter. The Jellybean’s beguiling resemblance to small bird eggs was evident, and that along with their colorful appearance made them a natural addition to Easter festivities. The American appetite for Jellybeans seems to be ravenous and growing annually. In the USA candy makers manufacture approximately 16 Billion Jellybeans annually in anticipation of Easter. Moreover, in recent years some Grocery stores have doubled the space designated for highlighting Jellybeans near Easter time. Categorically precise product sales figures are difficult to establish since retailers no longer routinely report checkout scanner information. Nevertheless, based on various data, Easter is second in Holiday candyeating events with overall sales hovering at a lofty 1.9 billion dollars in 2006, according to the National Confectioners Association, or the NCA. Jellybeans figure prominently
in that placement. During Reagan’s presidential reign more than three tons of Jelly Belly Candy Company beans, were consumed at political events in 1981, possibly due to Reagan’s widely reported fondness for the sugary treat. Blueberry Jellybeans are a Jelly Belly Company invention developed specifically so that Reagan could serve a patriotic mix of red white and blue jellybeans at his inaugural parties. Reagan’s favorite flavor was licorice and he ordered 7000 pounds for his 1981 inauguration. The CEO of Jelly Belly Company once credited Reagan’s widely publicized passion as responsible for putting their gourmet brand on the map, according to CNN’s American Morning show, aired June 9 2004. The Turkish Delight, a Middle Eastern candy made of soft jelly, covered in confectioner’s powder, with roots dating to biblical days, inspired the Jellybean’s gummy interior. When formulating the Jellybean the pioneering twist involved adding various new flavors and covering the jelled center with a semi-hard shell. The method for making the glaze on the outside of the Jellybean, was invented in 17th century France, and is known as panning. It is the same process prior used to make the thin sweet shell surrounding Jordan almonds. Jellybeans first surfaced in America in 1861 when William Schrafft, a Boston confectioner, urged people to send his Jellybeans to soldiers during the Civil war. The first recorded advertisement for jellybeans was published in the Chicago Daily News on July 5, 1905. It publicized Bulk Jellybeans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book, “The Century in Food: America’s Fads and Favorites.” Jellybeans were initially sold in general stores as penny candy displayed in glass jars, separated by individual flavors, and scooped into paper bags after the patron handpicked their selection. Demand for the candy declined at the turn of the century. Interest in them re-energized during World War II due to a shortage of chocolate. Most chocolate was sent to soldiers overseas prompting the deficit. For years the reigning traditional jellybean makers such as Brach’s confectioners boasted an appealing but limited range of flavors and colors. In the mid 1970s, however, gourmet jellybeans emerged when the Herman Goelitz Candy Co., Inc., now known as the Jelly Belly Candy Company, made jellybeans that were different in taste and texture. The company’s trend-setting jellybean transformation involved
expanding the flavor options by including unusual flavors such as Watermelon, Pear, or Tutti Fruiti, to name a few. The candy also looked different, a bit more delicate, more colorful and more intensely flavored than traditional beans. In addition, some beans did not have the classic clear chewy center, according to Gray Rollins of the website Your Easter. The palate pleasing amplification in flavor and choices thrust gourmet Jellybeans to new heights of gastronomic popularity. Both traditional and gourmet jellybeans can take between 6 and 21 days to make, according to various manufacturers. Differences in recipes give both Gourmet and traditional beans a distinctive taste. Moreover, both styles of beans have a solid share of stubbornly loyal cohorts. The gourmet beans are usually smaller and softer than the traditional candy. In addition, the gourmet beans always have flavors infused into the center jell as well as the exterior shell. In contrast, the traditional Jellybeans typically have flavoring only in the shell, according to the NCA. The life cycle of a jellybean begins when all the deliciously addictive ingredients needed to form the bean’s sweet chewy interior are boiled, then piped to casting trays to solidify. A few days later, the panning process begins. The beans roll in a drum while sugar is gradually added to build up the shell around the soft center. At this point colors and flavors are also introduced into the mix. Soon after, confectioners glaze gives the shell a shiny appearance. Lastly, the beans get a final polish prior to shipping. Some innovative gourmet flavors include Cappuccino or Strawberry Cheesecake, as well as unique sportbean varieties such as Berry Blue, a fusion of natural flavors, electrolytes, and antioxidants, and the Jelly Belly Company’s newest natural flavor, Pomegranate, fortified with vitamin C. These unusual but still somewhat conventional flavors appeal to the sophisticated palates of adults as well as anyone of any age with a demanding sweet tooth. However, the repertoire of flavors is not constricted to the creatively conventional realm. Some gourmet manufacturers have veered on a non-conformist
path by daring to boldly concoct wildly offbeat flavors with repulsive sounding names such as Vomit, Booger, Earwax and dirt to name a few. These eccentric flavors are more apt to charm an adventurous adolescent or a daredevil child rather than an adult. Indeed the Jelly Belly Company, the maker of the zany but still briskly selling flavors, touts them as “guaranteed to have your lips curl and your eyes watering.” The flavors available for Gourmet Jellybeans are ever evolving, and continually tested. The process is restrained only by the outer limit of the manufacturer’s imagination and the new arrival’s marketability. Promising new jellybean versions take root in a chemistry laboratory where test batches of new flavors are conjured, and mulled, based on the results of marketing studies. The batches are then examined by focus groups for taste and visual appeal, before emerging as a new shelfready product, according to How Products are Made, a reference book, published by Thomson-Gale. Indeed American consumers are apparently so charmed by the mouthwatering, teeth-clinging treat that April 22 is designated National Jelly Bean Day, according to the NCA. Other large companies making Jelly Beans are Hershey, Russell Stover, and Fannie Mae. To satiate the curiosity of inquiring health-conscious minds, an ounce of regular jellybeans contains approximately 100 calories. The calories are mainly from carbohydrates. Jellybeans contain no fat, no cholesterol, no fiber, and no protein according to the food database at Calorie King’s website. There are about 26 jellybeans in an ounce, according to Debbie Belt president of the James River Candy Company. In case you were wondering, 70 percent of children 6 to 11 years claim to prefer eating jellybeans one bean at a time, while 23 percent profess a preference for gobbling them by the handful. Slightly more boys at 29 percent said they prefer wolfing down a handful, while 18 percent of the girls admit to inelegantly eating jellybeans by loading a mouthful, according to Easter candy facts on Pearson education’s “infoplease” website.

Olive Crest Celebrates St. Paddy’s Day and Raises $200,000 for Project Independence
The Newport News
Honorary Chair and former LA Rams great Vince Ferragamo, Kerri Photos by Ann Chatillon Dunkelberger and Tim Bauer A St. Paddy’s Day celebration was certainly festive for a sold-out crowd of 336 guests. The event benefited Olive Crest and was held at the Newport Beach Country Club, yes - on St. Paddy’s Day! Former LA Rams’ star quarterback and enthusiastic community supporter Vince Ferragamo served as honorary chair, with Carrie Brock taking the reins as event chair this year. The event was a celebration by raising nearly $200,000 that will be designated for Project Independence - Olive Crest Youth, for ages 14-24. Whether a youth is in foster care, a group home, transitional housing, or living on his or her own, the program creates a relationship-based plan designed for each youth’s specific needs. Prior to the sit-down dinner, guests enjoyed a champagne reception and were entertained by two musicians from Cillian’s Bridge Irish band playing the fiddle (violin) and mandolin along with two young costumed girls dancing an Irish jig! Guests also enjoyed whiskey sampling, the chance to win some opportunity prizes and best of all, purchasing a Golden Ticket opportunity which offered Michelle Hatch and Dennis Kuhl with Kim and Bob Miller the winner a choice of a live auction item - all the buyers of a Golden Ticket were the proud wearers of flashing green blinky rings. More on this later… During the program, Roshaunda Crain, received the Shining Star Award for her success, and whose life was transformed through Project Independence. She gave a beautiful testimony of how Olive Crest’s program restored her life and how Project Independence helps the futures for vulnerable young adults by providing them with Independent Living Specialists, Case Managers and Mentors, as well as safe and secure apartment homes. The live auction created a bidding war for many who were feverish for getting their item. Some of the items were: Golf and Lunch with Vince Ferragamo and Newport Beach Country Club member Dennis Bader at the exclusive Newport Beach Country Club; An Owner’s Box at Del Mar Turf Club for four, including $500 towards a lovely weekend at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad; A Luxury Maui Getaway, which includes $1,000 airfare on Hawaiian Airlines, a 7-day, 6-night stay in a condo with a beautiful ocean view room in Kaanapali, Maui; A dreamy escape to Los Cabos in a luxurious, private home for one week in San Jose del Cabo, known for its sandy beaches and colonial buildings; a dinner for two at Back Bay Bistro with Vince Ferragamo Lori Sweeney and Lorraine Roshaunda Crain with Event along with a past or present LA Rams players; and a luxurious 12-day Cruise Chair Carrie Brock Bader on the Holland America Line on a pick from a variety of destinations. Now, about those Golden Tickets - guests could purchase a Golden Tickets for $100 each to have first their pick of one of the live auction items. The winner was Bill Kaley. He selected the Napa Valley wine tasting and tour for four people, with a credit towards a stay of the Westin Versa in downtown Napa. For the “raise the paddle” portion of the program, when the auctioneer got down to $100, Ferragamo offered a signed football with a photo op with him for the last bidder to bid $100. It was a great way to get folks to bid - the winner was Malcolm Bailey, he was grinning from ear to ear! Entertainment was provided by Cillian’s Bridge Irish band. Since 1973, Olive Crest has transformed the lives of more than 70,000 abused, neglected, and at-risk children and their families. The nonprofit works tirelessly to meet the individual needs of kids in crisis by providing safe homes, counseling and education for both youth and parents. The many innovative programs offered reflect its conviction that strengthening the family is one of the most powerful ways to help heal children.

Throw an Epic Easter Brunch on a Budget
Burning, Tingling, Numbness or Pain? Don’t Suffer Any Longer!
Proven Medical Neuropathy Treatment with an 87% Success Rate Available in Newport Beach Preparing an elaborate Easter spread for your family doesn’t have to be an expensive (or exhausting) endeavor. Rethinking familiar dishes and ingredients is an easy way to add a special touch to your meal. Add a dash of affordable elegance to your Easter brunch with these simple tips from the experts at ALDI: For a colorful twist on an Easter classic, try pickling your deviled eggs. Pickling punches up the flavor of these tasty bites and gives your eggs a festive hue. Offer dishes that are pretty and practical. Bake pre-cooked angel hair pasta in muffin tins until the tops are crisp. Fill your pasta “nests” with ingredients such as poached eggs, cheese or diced ham, and you have an attractive brunch dish that is portioned just right for each serving. Cater to the individual tastes of your guests with a mimosa bar. Set out a table with champagne, a selection of fruit juices and sliced fruits and berries so your guests can mix and match as they wish. Chocolate-dipped desserts are easy and always a crowd pleaser. Make better-for-you treats by dipping Easter goodies in smooth, dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for lower sugar content. Or for a sweet treat without too much added sugar, repurpose dark chocolate by melting it for fondue, and serve an assortment of fruits or salty snacks, like pretzels, for guests to dip. Explore new ways to enjoy timeless classics. Maple is a terrific addition to sweet and savory snacks, from bacon to cookies and beyond. Give brunch a sweet spin with these Carrot Cake Waffles, which feature a decadent maple cream cheese drizzle.

I strive to be a top competitor, but also a young professional that others trust and respect.” Expanding the program, Blenheim EquiSports decided to award two additional grants of $1,000 of horse show credit to both Stephanie Nagler, assistant to Cha Cha Jago of Jigsaw

Make sure that these readers are aware of your company and what you do by keeping a regular, affordable advertising message in the newspaper that all of them read every week 2.Why pay more to reach your most preferred customers? Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the most expensive advertising is advertising that doesn’t work. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would bring you customers. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in Newport News? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like the Newport News which is received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners with advertising that costs you far less money. The Newport News is attractive, effective and affordable. 3. Why do Newport News Readers read the Newport News? Since 1907 The Newport News has been the favorite weekly publication of Newport Beach. On July 15, 1997, the Superior Court of Orange County adjudicated
(approved) The Newport News as the official newspaper for The City of Newport Beach and the County or Orange. That’s why you regularly see stories about the Newport News Chamber of Commerce, and prominent Newport News residents in the Newport News. So when you advertise In the Newport News you get the most popular weekly for Newport Beach readers. 4.U S Post office plus selected delivery makes this newspaper special! While everyone knows that the Newport News is delivered to nearly every single family residence in Newport Coast by the United States Post office, the Newport News is also hand-delivered each week to local Newport News area businesses, professional offices, library, and several centrally located news racks other popular gathering spots where Newport News residents can easily pick up a copy. 5.Who is this woman that raises hundreds of millions of dollars and how can she help me grow my business? If you don’t know her already, get to know Kelly Bennett, the top society columnist in Orange County. She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly. Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features major charity events where the beautiful people
of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes. Permit us to say that placing your advertising where it is seen by people who can afford to give away millions is the best advertising purchase you will ever make. Read Kelly Bennett’s “Society Scene “column every week in the Newport News and see why. 6. Free Online Advertising Newport News Version each week.

Your regular ad will appear in our online edition at no extra charge. Just click on the Thenewportnews.com. 7. How Fast Will this Home be sold? We’d like to share some actual quotes from local Newport News area realtors: BUYERS CAME IN WAVING the ad that appeared in the Newport News.” Two factors determine how fast a house will sell: 1.Choose a skilled real estate professional 2. Advertise it in the Newport News Whether you are selling homes or other desirable goods or services you should consider the Newport News for your advertising.

Planning the perfect Easter egg hunt From the White House lawn to the family living room, children of all ages will soon be searching behind bushes and couches to find that last treasured egg. If you don’t have an Easter egg hunt to attend in your community this year, consider planning your own and inviting all the neighbors to participate. Here are some tips for planning the perfect Easter egg hunt: Find out what kids want Kids each have their favorite items they’re hoping they’ll find in their baskets. To deliver the best gifts from the Easter Bunny, you have to think like the kids. See what kids think about the Easter Bunny and the goodies he’s going to bring this year in this adorable video by Personal Creations. Pick the right eggs Load up on eggs of all shapes and sizes. Plastic eggs are the best for hiding, because if an egg isn’t found, it won’t spoil and cause a mess later. Plastic eggs are very colorful, making them easier to spot by both little children and older kids alike. If you’re inviting a lot of younger children to the egg hunt, consider placing several eggs in a soft Easter basket like the Large Plush Bunny Basket and placing it under a tree to make it faster and easier for kids to find. Invite the Easter Bunny Rent an Easter Bunny costume and ask someone to wear it to welcome guests of all sizes to your Easter egg hunt. Ask someone else to be a digital photographer who can email your guests photos taken of their kids posing with the Easter bunny - parents will appreciate the opportunity to have their kids take a picture with the Easter Bunny without having to make a special visit to the local mall. Hang a personalized Egg Hunt Banner
in the yard and decorate the area with streamers and balloons to give your backyard a festive feel. Prepare for rain April showers aren’t outside of the scope of possibilities, so prepare for a rainy day situation. You don’t want a handful of disappointed children at the party. Utilize furniture and the garage to hide eggs throughout the house. Prepare a map of the house and how many eggs are in each room so kids who aren’t familiar with the layout of the home can still find their fair share of hidden eggs. Consider treats that aren’t candy Don’t limit your Easter party treats to just

sweets. Stuffed bunnies make the perfect companion for young kids, and are a great gift to hide along with the eggs. Parents will appreciate that there are options to take home other than candy, and kids will have something to keep for years to come. To give it that extra special touch, personalize a stuffed animal with each kid’s name at www.PersonalCreations.com. With these tips, you’ll have a successful Easter egg hunt that your friends and neighbors - and their children - will be talking about for weeks to come.
